15 ADMISSIBLE Bill Match Upon AMS Manifest filing, pending departure message from carrier Air shipment is SPLIT RELEASED (no Paperless vs. Release) HOLD CBP places holds on the manifest, this suspends the release of cargo MANIFEST MESSAGES BOL TYPE INELIGIBLE FOR ENTRY PROCESSING FROB RELEASE SUSPENDED IN-BOND PORT DISCREPANCY CARRIER UPDATES THE MANIFEST TO A SPLIT CARRIER UPDATE TO A FUTURE RELEASE DATE OUTSIDE SELECTIVITY WINDOW QUANTITY MISSMATCH BUT YOUR QUANTITY IS CORRECT, COULD MEAN HOUSE BILL SHOULD NOT BE SENT VERIFY IF HOUSE OR STRAIGHT IN-BOND PORT DISCREPANCY (CFS in a Different Port than Entry Port ask CBP to associate ports in a Port Cluster) BILL MATCH is the key BILL DEPARTURE / BILL ARRIVAL status missing could cause ADMISSIBLE to not update to further release status Contact Carrier ABI Rep

16 ACE Cargo Release Transmission (Not Certified from Summary) No need for Quantity, Firms Code, Planed Port of Entry (unless PGA/Or you transmit IT#), Flight / Date etc. In the case of where the entered quantity will be less than the full manifest quantity, the bill of lading Quantity is a required data element (i.e. 100 PKGS: 60 PKGS Entry / 40 PKGS Inbond) ACE Cargo Release Notification, upon bill match, will return: Bill Status Details (Departed/Arrived) Flight Details Date Details Manifest Quantity Details Port Details IT Detail (IT#, Ports, Dates) Split Indicator Split Details ACE Entry Summary transmission ACE Cargo Release notification will provide much of the needed transportation details to file the Summary and prepare Delivery Order ACE Entry Summary must include all required data transmitted today Manage Entry Summary Transmission if filing two step process

17 CBP Cargo Release Non-Automated Warehouse Policy Document CBP will allow, as an interim process, Cargo Release based on screen printout Automation for Ocean CFS facilities is dependent on AMS filing at the House Bill Level in Ocean

18 ACE Cargo Release Business Transformation Process Document Exam site designation for most intensive examinations, CBP ports allow the importer to designate the examination site. Without the use of the CBP Form 3461 as part of the process (documentation package) to identify examination sites to allow CBP to generate a Permit to Transfer (PTT) to that site alternate documentation is required. CBP will allow filers to provide a single sheet printout of the transaction from their system, or create a document in any format that identifies, entry, bill of lading number, date of arrival and identifies the examination site by FIRMS code and name. If the shipment is C-TPAT that information (including Tier) can also be provided on that document to allow all parties to facilitate processing. Additional information on the submission of these documents will be provided in the near future Documents needed including invoice, packing lists and any required documents under PGA or CBP regulations will be submitted via DIS.

19 Split Shipment Cargo tendered to the carrier as a single shipment, under a single bill of lading for carriage on a single conveyance, and subsequently split by the carrier for transport on multiple conveyances No need to FAX/ CBP to post each part of the split. The current manual process is very labor intensive for Trade and CBP. Significant change and improvement to the process

20 HOLD ALL Is the default Release will not post until all parts have arrived Splits will post automatically INCREMENTAL RELEASE If Split indicator 2 is transmitted prior to arrival, entry date will be set when the first portion of the split shipment has arrived, if Updated after a portion of the splits have arrived, release date will be the entry date. Release for each part that has arrived will post automatically 10 days for all parts to arrive. More than 10 days from release date or arrival (whatever is latest), must do a new entry for the balance. ( SPLIT BILL NOT ELIGIBLE FOR RELEASE message will be received) Subsequent entry send Split Indicator 2

21 ACE Cargo Release (SE) Updates are sent as a U Update action code The Update code is used to correct or update: Bill of Lading information Report specific transportation information Change the Split indicator (Similar to the Bill of Lading update in ACS) Update to the bill information is allowed up to 15 days after the cargo has arrived When filer only needs to update the bill of lading and specific transportation information, use the Update submission rather than the Replace submission as there is an important distinction between and Update and a Replace U Update does not need to be reviewed by CBP R Replace has to be reviewed by CBP after Bill Match

22 ACE Cargo Release (SE) Correction requests are sent as a R Replace action code Corrections are transmitted to CBP electronically for data elements other than bill of lading information Eliminates Pen & Ink/Old & New manual correction by CBP Correction request must include filer contact name and phone number that can discuss the correction NO correction after both arrival and release AE Certified For ACE Cargo Release AE will accept Corrections to ACE Entry Summary Certified For ACE Cargo Release AE/SE converter will check for SE on file; If yes, will send SE as a Replace ; if not will send SE as an Add. Filer will receive Replace Request Pending status if correction filed after bill match Correction must be actioned by CBP before filer can submit a subsequent correction Corrections - Scenario Based Workflow Including PGA s

23 If Entry Port Transmitted, can not correct Corrections will run through selectivity targeting CBP system will provide visibility to CBP Officer of each data element that has been replaced compared to the original data transmitted Correction accepted by CBP: Filer will receive a new disposition message (SO) Cargo Release will have a new version Correction is now the active entry record Correction Rejected: CBP will send a Reject Reason Code Look for Comments Make Sure Entry Summary is updated as necessary

24 Future Process AE/SE Corrections: Trade will submit an indicator stating that there is a PGA only update. PGAs develop automated processes for handling corrections Updates at Entry Summary will send PGA data to SE CBP passes all updates to the PGA s for response 24

25 ACE Cargo Release SE Deletion/Cancellation requests are sent as a D (Delete/Cancel) action code Send contact name and number of person who can discuss the cancellation If the Delete/Cancel action is submitted prior to bill match, ACE Cargo Release will be Deleted and entry number (reused for another entry submission?) If D action is submitted after bill match, this becomes a Cancellation, and request will be reviewed by CBP prior to accepting or rejecting the cancellation request CBP will process Cancellation or Reject Request Cancellation Requests Rejections: CBP will be able to return standard messages as well as customized comments. If Request is rejected, a new Request must be submitted to pursue a cancellation. Each Request submission stands on its own B08 Report Resolution Request 23 days after Cargo Release, for which no Entry Summary has been received, notification will be sent to Filer. 7 days after notification/cargo Releases will cancel automatically

26 If an ACE Entry Summary has been transmitted: ACE Entry Summary is in Trade Control Delete Entry Summary Transmission Send SE Deletion/Cancellation D action ACE Entry Summary is in CBP Control Send cancellation request to CBP per the ACE Entry Summary Business Rules. When that Entry Summary is cancelled, the ACE Cargo Release transaction will automatically be cancelled (UC6) DIS submission related to the correction / cancellation request: If necessary - Send Documents in advance of the submission of the correction / cancellation request

27 Document upload for ACE entry summary in the ACE portal The ACE portal does not allow submission of unsolicited documents ABI Entry Summary Status Notification Message (UC message) Action Identification Number to upload the requested documents to the portal Document Imaging System (DIS) DIS allows trade partners to submit document images and associated descriptive meta data to CBP and PGAs in an automated manner using EDI communication (Solicited and Unsolicited Messages) ACE Cargo Release / PGA document DIS process ACE Cargo Release / ACE Entry Summary / PGA document DIS ABI process
